The French Ministry Resigns Oyer Defeat in the Chamber. There was great excitement in tho Cham ber ot Deputies, Tarl, when Deputy Ouesde introduced the miners' eight-hour bill and demanded a vote of urgency upon it. This demand adduced a flood of socialist argil ments in violent languuge denouncing the bourgeoisie, employer' tmatinnut ol miner a slaves, human cattle, etc These nnrangues were inierrnpiea ny me members of the Center, but the Socialist continued to shriek retorts to tncfioint made by tbe Centrist. Premier Calmlr-Perlcr demanded the order of the day purely and simply, and the demand was rejecteu ny a vote oi ztia io ?'ja. All the ministers therouon witnurew, and renort of their recognition followed. The eause of tbe crisis, though seemingly trilling, really relnted to tbe general policy of Premier Caslmlr-Perter, and also to Uie pre mier's aspiration to the presidency. The workingnien's syndicate under the law of 1HH8 has become a powerful ana terrorusias; ma chine under socialistic control. The government bsd determined to repress the system.and, by continuing Dutiuy's Kllcy of closing the labor exchange, endeavored to f it-event tbe railway companies from granting eaves ot absence to men in their employ. After the departure ot the ministers M. de Itumel's order of the day recognising tbe tilt it of employes of the state to loin work' men's syndicates was carried by a vote oi 251 to 223, and the chamber adjourned until MonriRV. Iter the ministers proceeded in a body to the Palais d F.lysee and formally tenuereu their resisnation to President Carnot. As they left the vhamber tbe Hcclalist shouted ' Long live the Social Republic" and "Long live tbt Commune." Home spectator say that M. Caslmir-Periei clapped his bands for Joy when the vot against tbe government was announced. Whether he did so or nut, it Is certain that b welcomed the aeteat.
